If you loved Papillon, try Patton
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Franklin J. Schaffner, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Papillon, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Patton is
Desert landscape, summer sun, a tank column rumbling. A general's temper frays, his will hardened, the war machine rolling forward. Schaffner grounds a larger-than-life figure.
